Abstract
One of the most common problems that meet artillerists is that of correcting for retardation caused by air-resistance, this being proportional to the air-density. The published range-tables, as calculated for any type of gun with given weight and form of shot, and given charge of powder, are based on trials with different elevations when the range and time of flight are measured directly. The range- tables are calculated from the experiments by making corrections for muzzle velocity and for air density. The problem now before us is to find a simple rule for deducing from the published range-table another range-table with a different air-density.
